    I live in Fla and with this amount of time in advance, I should be able to score a pretty cheap ticket. That's the least of my worries. My prime focus is that I'll be provided with more training than I had at the school because that was pretty darn fast!

    They like you to have your hazmat and since it entails a background check, better to get it early. We really don't run very much hazmat, but the occasional coke or pepsi load comes along and if you have the hazmat you can take it.

    My point was if it is an advance, you will sign a form and they will deduct it back out of your pay.

    I've heard of some companies reimburse for HazMat, does Stevens offer this as well?

    They do, also for your passport if you are Canada eligible.

    Looks like I should get my passport so I can apply for TWIC. Any idea of the cost of that?

    It is a reimbursement. Not an advance. You do not have to pay it back.
    Stevens doesn't care about how you arrive, just that you DO arrive. They have a set cost. If you want to come on your own, just supply a receipt and they'll reimburse you up to $200.
    I have yet to see them reimburse less than $200, but then I don't see all the receipts.
    If you live in Houston or Little Rock or Tucumcari and drive, they'll reimburse you for your car...up to $200.
    There are more than you think that will fly. And they all get their money on the first monday.
    They are good about that.

    I see that they've already supplied me with a motel. This place looks like crap! If I could find a better rate with a better quality hotel, do you think they'll be able to swap me to the better one rather than this rat hole hotel? I can't trust my belongings at this hotel! I went to one here in Orlando and the maids stole my camera battery and the manager had no record of it!

    No Idea about twic

    Passport $110, Passport Card $30... processing fee $25

    I got both together so only paid the one processing fee.

    i believe Stevens will do the cost of the card so $55 total.
